Acts 9:23-29

23After a while some of the Jews plotted together to kill him.

24They were watching for him day and night at the city gate so they could murder him, but Saul was told about their plot.

25So during the night, some of the other believers lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the city wall.

26When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him. They did not believe he had truly become a believer!

27Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus and how the Lord had spoken to Saul. He also told them that Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus in Damascus.

28So Saul stayed with the apostles and went all around Jerusalem with them, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.

29He debated with some Greek-speaking Jews, but they tried to murder him.
